No. Abe Pollin had made no secret that he liked the name Wizards and would like to one day change the team's name from Bullets to Wizards. Pollin announced, in 1995, that he was going to change the name of the team because of the negative connotation associated with the word 'bullet'. A fan contest was held to renamed the team. The names voted on were Sea Dogs, Dragons, Express, Stallions, and Wizards. Not surprisingly, Wizards won. The team's name was officially changed to Wizards from Bullets in the spring of 1997.
